Background/Objectives: Non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD), particularly neuropsychiatric disturbances such as anxiety, significantly impact quality of life. The Holistic Care Clinic for Parkinson’s disease at St George’s Hospital offers multidisciplinary assessments and personalized care to&#x...

Background: Evidence suggests that social connections are often disrupted by a dementia diagnosis. Eco-mapping, a common practice in social work, allows the visualization of interconnected lives and permits an opportunity to explore the nature and quality of social connections, and th...

Loneliness is independently associated with a range of health outcomes including reduced life satisfaction. Although there is a substantial body of research about loneliness in older adults in the UK, there is a significant evidence gap reporting experiences of loneliness of older peopl...

In the context of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, predicting cutting tool remaining useful life (RUL) is crucial for enabling and enhancing the reliability and efficiency of CNC machining. This paper presents an innovative predictive model based on the data fusion architecture of&...

This research presents an ontology-based framework designed to enhance market and production management for specialized Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the precision manufacturing sector, using air bearings as a case study. The framework was validated through real-world applications in&#x...

Aerostatic bearings incorporating micro-hole restrictors with diameters on the order of tens of microns demonstrate superior static and dynamic stiffness characteristics, while significantly reducing air consumption, and are increasingly adopted in precision engineering applications. This paper investigates the...

Urban helicopter activity is intermittent and route-focused, yet most strategic mapping tools were developed for fixed-wing traffic and long-term averages, leaving urban rotorcraft noise under-represented. In the EU, the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) and its CNOSSOS-EU methods require...

This work presents the performance and efficiency analysis of solid-state power electronic devices in two complementary applications: fault current limiting and renewable energy integration. A solid-state Fault Current Limiting and Interrupting Device (FCLID) based on a Switched Capacitor (SC) circuit...

The transport sector significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, making electromobility crucial in the race toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In recent years, the increasing competition among manufacturers, the development of cheaper batteries, the ongoing policy&#x...
